my website platform of choice
I’ve been in the design industry for 7+ years. In that time I’ve seen a lot of good websites and a lot of really, really bad websites. A bad website is simple to spot, but it takes a trained eye to notice what truly makes a website good. A good website is contrasting, easy for a new user to navigate, and clearly showcases what you’re all about so your visitors can make an informed action.
let's work together

→ After onboarding (contract signed, invoice paid, communication set up) you’ll complete a detailed questionnaire that will help me know exactly what to create for you
→ Up next, I’ll review your questionnaire and do some research of my own while you pin some website inspiration to our shared PInterest board
→ Finally, I’ll condense all of our research, ideas, and inspiration into a shared document for us to go over on our strategy call - this is where we’ll nail down all the specifics and make sure I have access to all the links, assets, and passwords I need
The Details
Every custom website is just that - custom. So the exact process we follow will vary depending on your goals and needs, but every project follows these general guidelines:
Step 1
→ After our strategy call, I’ll get to work designing one main page (typically the about or services page) and the wireframes for the remaining pages. This is done outside of Showit so you can approve the actual creative direction before I start building the site
→ Once you approve the creative direction, I’ll build the pages out in Showit
→ During the build process, I’ll send you preview links (actual clickable pages of your website!) for small approvals throughout the build. This makes the process go sooo much faster by preventing a ton of meetings
→ If clarification is needed or I need to further explain a design decision, I’ll send you a Loom video
→ Finally, once the design details are approved, we’ll move on to refinement
The Details
This is where the bulk of the action happens! Wireframes, designs, revisions, and approvals.
Step 2
→ With the design finalized, we can go over little details like swapping photos, changing a line of copy, changing a CTA, swapping a link, etc.
→ This is also the time when we will test links, test forms, and do a QA (quality assurance) check on every page
→ During this phase I’ll also add basic SEO settings to each page, embed Google Analytics, pixels, and other fun nerdy tech things
The Details
This is the time to help me polish your site so it’s launch-ready.
Step 3
→ Every custom website design ends with an in-depth training call via Zoom. This training will be specific to you and your website, not a generic Showit how-to
→ You’ll also get access to a full library of additional training videos for specific website functions
→ Lastly, we launch your incredible new site to the world!
The Details
Eek, we are so close to launching! The timeline of this final step in the custom website design process will again vary from project to project depending on if you’re migrating a blog, swapping hosts, getting a new domain name, etc.

TIMELINE 8-12 weeks

Bonus One

Bonus three
Seriously, I can’t say it enough - please don’t attempt to ‘fix’ a struggling business by spending money unnecessarily. A new website design won’t fix your internal problems.
But Am I Ready For This?
I’m of the camp that you need a strong brand identity before you need a custom website. If you aren’t willing to invest in the overall look and feel of your business, then custom web design probably isn’t for you.
The pre-work and our communication throughout the project is the foundation of successfully getting you what you need and want from a custom website.
Sometimes a simple website update just won’t cut it anymore. At some point if the functionality or overall design of your site isn’t working for you, it’s a good idea to invest in a new site altogether.
I get it. The temptation to redesign your site frequently is stroooong, especially if you are a creative. But if what you got ain’t broke, don’t fix it. If trends tempt you, find ways to incorporate them into your campaigns without completely revamping your entire identity that your audience clearly loves!
A website is only as strong as your brand. At minimum I require a logo, color palette, font choices, and a clear photography direction.
There’s a lot of pre-work and approval needed in custom website design. I can only do my job if you are willing to put in the work too - but don’t worry, my clients tell me I make it feel so effortless!
The pre-work and our communication throughout the project is the foundation of successfully getting you what you need and want from a brand identity.
Aaaand sometimes you just plain ole don’t like what you have right now and that’s okay!
I will never encourage another business owner to put themselves in the red to work with me. Ultimately, it's your decision, but going into debt for a new website is not the solution for a struggling business.
Website design IS collaborative, but you should be able to trust that the designer you are working with will provide you with the most impactful solution for your specific business.
Yup, this is for me!
"I think the website will attract more attention organically or through a google search then my regular direct appeal. I also have a website I am proud of now because I know I am utilizing all that it can do or have the tools to in the future."
- Asha Paulose, Elder Law and Estate Planning Attorney
"I believe my website will attract more attention organically or through a Google search than my regular direct appeal."
I have a question...
I require all of my custom website design clients to have at minimum: a logo, color palette, font choices, high-quality photography, all copy in one place (a single Google Doc or multiple Docs in a Google Drive folder), and a Google Doc with all links/embed codes for systems like Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics
This depends on you! A super simple custom website with quick communication may only take around 6-8 weeks, but a more complex site with a vacation taken in the middle may take 8-12 weeks or longer. I don’t recommend having a specific “launch date” in mind as this can cause unnecessary stress on you if the project is stalled for any reason. We want this to be a fun, relaxed experience for you!
No, I am not a copywriter. You will either write the copy yourself or (my recommendation) hire a professional copywriter. It’s my opinion that if you are investing in custom website design you should also invest in copywriting for your custom site
A 25% retainer is required upon booking to claim your spot on my calendar. The remainder of the project cost can be broken up into 3 payments, with the last payment due before the site key is installed on your website. Any additional fees (fonts, templates, etc) incurred during the project will be invoiced with the final payment installment.
